Don't take it out of context and twist it to suit your agenda. Whatever they maybe.
Requiring citizenship for certain jobs is nothing new or a novelty. It is a fact for many jobs in the US, including the private sector.
I read your entire post. What did I take out of context? You don't think people should be allowed to fly airplanes commercially in the US unless they are American citizens. There is nothing to twist. Am I wrong? I have no agenda, I just do not agree with you. You sound like the one with an agenda, you want the US government to protect your job from people that are legally allowed to work. Why? Because you don't think you can go work in Europe? I'm just curious, did Nidal Malik Hasan have the same security screening that you had? Yes, we are all so much safer with American pilots. Totally absurd argument to back your opinion. It holds no water whatsoever.
